Re: Questions About Some VFP Data Types

Gene,

Screen type (S) is old DOS functionality to capture the DOS screen to a variable. I believe the command CLEAR SCREEN would clear them out.

Hello:

  I finished all of my boss's requests for the moment, and now, I

am back working on my grid replacement. Some day, maybe, I will have one.

  I am curious about some VFP data types.  What exactly are they?

  For each of them, is the data type ever used as a table or

cursor's column data type or as the type of an input control's data value? For some, I have another question.

G: General I understand this type should be avoided. Is it of any use these days?

O: Object No additional question.

S: Screen What is this type?

B: Blob No additional question.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
